If £100,000 gets you a nearly new Porsche 911 and £250,000 can put an established halo car in your dream garage, £150,000 seems to be the point in the Porsche 911 market where a number of future stars currently sit.

Here are the two vastly different Porsche 911s that the Total 911 team would choose with a theoretical budget of £150,000 ($235,000). Do you approve?

Porsche 997.2 GT3 RS – Lee Sibley, Editor

A true 911 that responds best to being hustled through each corner, that the 3.8-litre RS is still £150,000 – less than half that of a RHD RS 4.0 – is comparatively miraculous, so I’d not hesitate in snapping one up before they climb north of that.

Porsche 911 2.2S – Josh Barnett, Features Editor

I couldn’t choose anything else, could I? At the end of last year, I proclaimed that the Porsche 911 2.2S was my number one drive of 2014. It’s a simply magnificent machine that exemplifies everything fantastic about pre-impact bumper Porsche 911s.

Its lithe and nimble with a peaky, sonorous flat six to provide the power and soundtrack and, being part of the fabled 911S legacy, prices are only ever going to go one way meaning I can love driving it while not having to worry about my investment.
